Adjustment.
I'm in a bizarre state of mind. It's not exactly a pleasant state of mind, and I wish it gone. And so, as I always do, I shall write it away. For now.
Some of you may know that I recently left home, going off to the University, and living in-dorm. And if not, now you do. Let me now inform you that while my profile location may say otherwise (which it does), I am indeed back in the lovely land of Tulsa, Oklahoma for the summer.
And it's not exactly what I had expected home to be.
I've gotten so used to the college life. Stay up until three or four AM, no problem. Classes don't begin until one-thirty PM for me anyway, so it's not exactly life-threatening. Well, now I must be up for work at nine-thirty in the AM. Yet, I don't exactly get off until ten or eleven at night. So that's no fun. Go to work, come home, go to bed, wake up, go to work? Yick.
And man, I'm lonely. I've gotten so used to a live-in buddy, and the constant flow of people in and out of the dorm, that my family alone just doesn't cut it. I'm so miserabley lonely.
And,man I'm so insanely bored. It's not like a college town is exactly bumping with things to do, yet somehow, good ol' T-Town is just too... known?
But mostly, I miss my friend. My best friend and I were at different schools this past semester, so this summer's the first time we've really gotten a chance to hang. But man, it just hasn't worked out. And man, life just seems to be pulling us away. And dagnabbit all if I'm not afraid.
See, a lot of you guys are middle school, high school age kids, and man, I wish I still was sometimes. I see so many complaining about high school, and homework, and yadda-yadda-school-is-horrible. But man, wait until it's gone. You're only a kid once, and man, now it's gone. And I miss it something terrible. . Life's not so much fun when you have to schedule three weeks in advance an hour of hang time because that's the only time so-and-so will be in town for the summer, and you absolutely must see them.
Cherish what you've got, man. Before it's, like, gone. Because man, the adjustment period is just not so much of the fun. Especially when you realize what you could've done, and what you should've done back in the day.
Dang. I'm still lonely.
Well, that's a bummer.
